LVT Number: #29966

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. The court ruled against landlord and dismissed the case. There was a DHCR rent reduction order in effect that froze tenant's legal rent at $278 per month. The DHCR had denied a rent restoration application in 2015. Yet landlord signed a settlement agreement in court with tenant in 2016, agreeing that the legal rent was $1,000 per month. Tenant properly sought to vacate the settlement agreement.
